Broken Battle Saber (Common Level): Requires level 5, Attack 12, Durability 1/10.
Jiang Liu lowered his head to glance at the nearly destroyed battle saber, and the corresponding attribute information surfaced in front of him.
He pondered deeply in his heart for a mont, thinking of using iron ore to earnestly temper the tal into steel and then carefully repairing the battle saber.
After calculating in his heart how the repair process for the saber should work, he took out the sword along with a large chunk of iron ore and placed them in the Blacksmith Skill slot, pressing the repair button.
In front of Jiang Liu, the icon resembling a furnace began to spin, and a dazzling light burst forth once again.
While the light was shining brightly here, Sun Wukong and the others next to him acted as if they didn't notice anything at all.
After repairing equipnt for countless tis, from the initial surprise and curiosity to their current indifference, Sun Wukong and his party had grown accustod to it.
Only Zhu Bajie mumbled to himself, hoping that their master would not stay up late doing these things at night. Otherwise, the sudden appearance of dazzling light would make it difficult for them to sleep.
Sun Wukong, who was nearby, overheard Zhu Bajie's low muttering and turned his head to glance at him before smirking to himself.
Are you kidding? This idiot, once he's asleep, not even thunder can wake him, and he's complaining about a bit of light keeping him from sleeping?
"Eh? This ti, it seems a bit different!" Sha Wujing, who was nearby, noticed that the dazzling light was lasting longer than usual and was quietly surprised, turning his head to look at Jiang Liu.
Usually, repairing this equipnt would take about the sa amount of ti, only ten or so seconds to complete. But this ti, the light in front of Jiang Liu lasted for a good half a minute before dissipating.
The duration of the light was at least double the length it was before, and naturally, Sun Wukong and the others also noticed the change, now looking over with curious eyes.
Phew...
After more than half a minute had passed, the light finally converged, and Jiang Liu exhaled a turbid breath, feeling an increased sense of fatigue in his body and mind.
This completely confird Jiang Liu's speculation; it seed as though pressing a button was all it took to repair the equipnt, but the actual amount of energy needed to repair an item did not decrease.
It's just that the skills of Life Professions greatly compressed the ti needed for all these tasks.

As the light receded, a shiny new battle saber appeared in front of Jiang Liu, looking brand new.
Jiang Liu took it in his hand and scrutinized it closely. The repair, which had taken more than half a minute to complete, had completely transford the appearance of the saber, entirely different from previous repairs.
Naturally, as Jiang Liu's gaze swept over it, the attribute information for the saber also appeared.
Battle Saber (Common Level): Requires level 5, Attack 18, Durability 9/9.
"Indeed!" Seeing the attribute information of the new saber in his hands, Jiang Liu was inwardly delighted.
Not only did it look brand new, but the key thing was that the attributes of the saber had also improved, with the original additional 12 attack points becoming 18, and the level requirent remained unchanged.
"From this situation, isn't this more than just a repair? This is practically refinent, or I might even call it enhancent!" Jiang Liu thought to himself as he looked at the saber, now renewed and improved in attributes.
In the Blacksmith Profession, you just throw things into the appropriate spot on the Skill Panel and press a button, and I had thought this was only for repairs, but it turns out enhancent is also possible.
The specifics of how to operate it depend on how I want to manage it.
Tip: You have gained 180 Experience Points.
As Jiang Liu examined the saber that had been repaired—or to be more precise, enhanced— the system notification chid, pleasing him.
Indeed, the enhancent seed to require more effort on his part. Therefore, the longer the duration of the light, the greater the Experience Points he received.
"Good saber!"
Not only was Jiang Liu examining the saber in his hands, but also many soldiers nearby, feeling the extended duration of the light, looked at the now-transford saber in Jiang Liu's hands, loudly exclaiming.
"Wow, it does look much newer indeed!" A common battle saber might not impress Sun Wukong and his peers, even if enhanced, but seeing a rusty blade turn brand new in Jiang Liu's hands made Sun Wukong widen his eyes.
Then, smilingly, he approached and said to Jiang Liu, "Master, I, Old Sun, have used the Jingu Bang for many years, and it's looking a bit dirty. Could you help clean it up too? Make it shiny and golden, more decent to look at?"
"Monkey, can't you see your master is still practicing? Let improve my technique before we discuss it," Jiang Liu looked at Sun Wukong unenthusiastically and replied.
"Oh, master, how long will it take for you to master this craft?" Sun Wukong asked with a hint of disappointnt but still sowhat hopeful.
"I don't know!" Jiang Liu, however, simply shook his head in response to Sun Wukong's question.
To go from a Blacksmith Apprentice to a formal Blacksmith, one has to repair or forge 1000 pieces of common-level equipnt. Who knows if the advancent later on will be even more difficult.
When would he be able to repair the Jingu Bang? Jiang Liu himself was indeed unclear.
"Master, did Supre Elder Lord impart to you so of the Path of Artifact Refining!?" It was Zhu Bajie who ca forward at this ti, his expression likewise filled with curiosity as he asked Jiang Liu.
For so long, they had not seen their master fiddle with these weapons, but after seeing Supre Elder Lord a few days ago, their master began to practice the Path of Artifact Refining, which is why Zhu Bajie made such an association in his heart.
"This has nothing to do with the Supre Elder Lord; alright, your teacher has his own matters to attend to..."
Waving his hand, Jiang Liu was not in the mood to engage in idle chat with Sun Wukong and others. He set the strengthened battle saber to one side and, after so thought, took out so more materials.
As Jiang Liu placed the brand-new battle saber aside, a soldier, quick-eyed and deft-handed, tried to take it away.
But soone was quicker than him; for a mont, several soldiers seed ready to fight over it.
In the end, a junior leader ca over and took the battle saber away. Examining the remarkable weapon carefully for a mont, the leader secretly marveled in his heart, The battle saber looked extraordinary, and it was extrely sharp.
Jiang Liu naturally didn't care about the common-level strengthened battle saber being snatched away by several soldiers. After completing the repairs, he considered his job done, and his thoughts returned to his Skill Panel.
This ti it was no longer about rely repairing equipnt but about trying to craft a piece of equipnt.
A blacksmith naturally combined the functions of forging, repairing, and strengthening weapons into one.
Thus, the use of the Blacksmith Skill Panel was not about what it could do, but rather what he wanted to do, wasn't it?
Having repaired so many weapons, he had gained so insight into common-level equipnt.
With a thought, Jiang Liu determined the specific procedures for the equipnt he wanted to create, and imdiately took out so materials to put in.
This ti, the dazzling light lasted for a full minute before it finally dissipated.
Imdiately afterward, a silver-white ring appeared in front of Jiang Liu, looking brand new and bright.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Liu focused his gaze, and soon the ring's Attribute Information erged.
Hundred Tempering Ring (Common Level): Required Level 20, Attack 80, Durability 25/25.
"Oh?" Looking at the Attribute Information of the Hundred Tempering Ring, Jiang Liu's expression brightened.
Although it was just a ring, the added Attack Power reached an impressive 80 points? Truly befitting the Level 20 requirent, wasn't it?
"Co, try out this ring and see how effective it is?" After so thought, Jiang Liu handed the ring to a nearby soldier and said.
"A ring!?" The soldier was stunned as he looked at the ring handed to him by Jiang Liu.
Then obediently nodding his head, he took the ring and slipped it onto his finger.
"Try it out and see if you feel any stronger?" As soon as the soldier had the ring on, Jiang Liu asked.
Nodding his head and feeling sowhat perplexed inside, nevertheless the soldier drew his own saber and perford a set of sword techniques before striking a large roadside stone, creating a crack in it.
"Master, there's no change at all!" Feeling his palm vibrating to numbness, the soldier sheathed his saber and answered.
"So, if the level isn't high enough, you can wear the ring, but it can't exert its effect, right?" Hearing the soldier's response, Jiang Liu looked at the soldier's character panel—his level was only 8—muttering to himself.
"General Zhang, why don't you give it a try?" After trying the ring on the Level 8 soldier, Jiang Liu took back the Hundred Tempering Ring and handed it to General Zhang to try.
"?" General Zhang looked at Jiang Liu with puzzlent. Hadn't it already been tested? Why should he try it now?
But, just trying it wouldn't hurt.
After a brief mont of contemplation, General Zhang nodded, put on the ring, and also began to test it with movent.
As soon as he started, General Zhang felt an invisible power within the ring rge with his strength, enhancing his ability by a certain margin!
Performing a set of saber techniques, it was fierce and powerful, attracting the attention of several nearby soldiers, who looked on with expressions of admiration.
"General, you seem to have beco even more formidable!"
A few of General Zhang's trusted aides, who had a better understanding of his cultivation level, whispered among themselves after seeing this scene.
(PS: This is the first update for today. I intend to buckle down and make up for the pledged bonus chapters that have been delayed for two months—it's ti to fulfill that promise. I'm not sure how many chapters I will manage to write today, but at the very least, expect five or six chapters as a base.)
